<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Hi Gerald,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>A couple methods I've used (really
two variations on the same theme):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>The first was the Coleman Key Pin
Polisher available from Coleman tools. It is an aluminum sleeve that
chucks into your drill, pack it with balance rail punchings, apply Flitz or some
such to your pins, and run the polisher up and down the pins. I've found
it's a neat idea, but I have problems with the punchings getting pulled out of
the tool.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Since then, I've started polishing by
hand with hammer felt scraps obtained from Schaff. Just cut off a little
block that is maybe a little longer than you keypins, drill a hole that is
smaller than your keypins into the felt, apply Flitz to the pins and run the
felt up and down the pins.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>When you're done with either method,
shoeshine and/or wipe down the pins with a cotton rag, and spray with TFL-50
dry.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>In the future, I might try just
cutting a long block of felt from the hammer felt scrap that will fit very
tightly into the Coleman tool. I think a single solid piece of felt would
work well in that tool and would definitely save on time and energy
polishing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Have fun!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face=Arial size=2>One of my assignments is
to demo. polishing key pins. I would like to show 2 or 3 different methods to
accomplish this so I'm polling the list to get some suggestions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the great material that I recieved on
workshop setup.</FONT></DIV>
